Dead Inside is the third single to drop from R3DD L’s fourth studio album, Break The World.
Dead Inside is a song where R3DD L touches on depression and the things that he’s resorted to, in order to cope with his emotions.
[Verse 1]
There’re so many broken individuals today
They shut everybody out because, because they’re so afraid
They don’t know who they can turn to ‘cause, they don’t know who to trust
But let me tell you something, don’t be ever giving up
I know what it’s like, constantly feeling alone
Trapped inside your own mind, don’t know where you can go
Don’t ever really want to go outside and show your face
And the smile that you’re showing everybody’s fake
I don’t want to keep feeling like I no longer belong
I want to feel like I matter, I want to make sure I’m strong
Don’t want live my life thinking that what I’m doing is wrong
Making music for the people who feel more than withdrawn
I know the way we’re all thinking when we resort to the drink
How much does shit even matter? We really don’t want to think
That’s the last thing on our minds when we feel dead inside
We want to go to sleep, never wake up, just say goodbye
[Chorus]
No longer thinking straight
I’m filled with pain and rage
I’m just so dead inside
Swear that I ain’t feeling great
No longer thinking straight
I’m filled with pain and rage
I’m just so dead inside
Swear that I ain’t feeling great
[Verse 2]
I felt alone for a long time and told people “I’m fine”
Pay people no mind if they think that I’m lying
Ain’t commit no crime, ask myself why I
Choose to ignore the help and do shit alone, why?
I’m independent, I don’t need nobody’s help
That’s what I tell myself, I fucking hate myself
I’m constantly pushing people away
It’s like I’m honestly looking for things to hate
It’s like a coping mechanism, when I’m blowing shit up
I fill people with pessimism and don’t give a fuck
When I destroy all of my friendships, I just don’t want to look
I don’t mean to be a bastard, I’m just down on my luck
Like all the time, I fucking hate my life
I ain’t giving up, I don’t feel alright
But I can’t tell anybody ‘cause, I don’t feel it’s right
Why do I feel like this, pretty much all of the time?
[Chorus]
No longer thinking straight
I’m filled with pain and rage
I’m just so dead inside
Swear that I ain’t feeling great
No longer thinking straight
I’m filled with pain and rage
I’m just so dead inside
Swear that I ain’t feeling great
[Verse 3]
I don’t want to feel like shit each and every other day
I just want to live my life in an ordinary way
I’m just fed up of feeling the way I do, today
Sick and tired of being sick and tired, how do I escape?
It’s impossible to get out of this mindset
Stuck inside of my head, kind of feel like I’m dead
I don’t want to die yet, saying no goodbye’s yet
Got a lot of time left, shit is like a mind test
Depression is a horrible disease
Every single day, it’s killing people off with ease
I see people crying and they’re begging for release
Then I look in the mirror and I see what they see
I see a man who is broken, and his face has no emotion
A lot of things unspoken and the life that he has chosen
Makes him feel like he is drowning in the ocean
He’s dead inside, everything is frozen
[Chorus]
No longer thinking straight
I’m filled with pain and rage
I’m just so dead inside
Swear that I ain’t feeling great
No longer thinking straight
I’m filled with pain and rage
I’m just so dead inside
Swear that I ain’t feeling great

Everyone goes through depression differently. I’ve been through it, coping in more ways than one. Some people resort to drink. Some people put a fake smile on their face and tell others that they’re “alright” when they’re not. Others do what they can to push their loved one’s away, so that they can...
